Exercise And Working Out

We all know that some form of exercise every day is good for us. And you don’t have to join a gym or be young and fit to do that.
Walking is a great exercise that is kind to joints. Make it a power walk to increase the benefits!

For those with health issues, there are workouts designed to be done sitting in a chair or lying on a bed. A little floor-standing pedal cycle is cheaper and easier to store than a bike or static bike.
Even someone with a busy schedule can do the odd 10 minutes of pilates, yoga, or simple stretching exercises at intervals during the day.

You don’t need to spend a fortune on special gym equipment. Bottles of water or tins of beans make simple hand weights, and you can buy a few resistance bands in different colours and resistances for very little.

And if you join an exercise class or enjoy sport, exercise can become a social occasion.

I had to give up high-impact stuff because of knee problems. I really miss cross-country running.
I was always sporty in school and did almost everything. I was the goalkeeper in our local football team and was a horse rider until a few years ago—believe me, that is not just sitting in a saddle while the horse does all the work. You do discover muscles you never knew you had in the strangest places! 😅
I love swimming, and I still cycle on a static bike. I also do some Pilates, hand weights, and resistance work.
Looking after our horses and land also gives me a decent workout, and I walk our dog every day, no matter the weather.

So confession time—what is your exercise regime?
Do you enjoy any sports?
